It’s true 5nm definitely gives M1 an edge, but Apple’s ARM chips have lead the pack by a mile in performance for a long time, at comparable nodes. To say all the magic lies with TSMC is to claim that with M1 Apple suffered a huge loss is leadership position in terms of design, saved only by TSMC. I don’t see how that’s a credible claim.
